Hi Folks, I own two Ruger M77 style rifles. One is a "Hawkeye" M77 stainless in 308 win, the other is a Gunsite Scout in 308 win. The safety lever of the M77 rifles is supposed to block the striker from hitting the primer when the safety lever is in the third (rearmost) position. On my...

Hi Mohavesam, I've replied to your PM. Thanks!

For sale Ruger Duck Detroit Carhartt blanket-lined jacket size Large (48) still in the original bag. I got this jacket a few years ago when I bought a hawkeye 308 rifle. It's been sitting in its bag (with all of the stickers and tags) in my closet since. The cost is $50 plus shipping. You...

Interesting.... I didn't realize S&W went that route too. I have a model 60-14 which has the older style frame (but is recent enough to have the internal lock). I googled some images of the S&W model 60 and noticed that they now also have a similar integral boss on their frames.

Thanks for the explanation ADP3!

Hi All, I bought a brand new Ruger SP101 (2.25", .357 mag) last week and I noticed that there is a slight change on the frame. On the brand new SP101, there is a raised piece of metal/boss on the left side of the frame located near the lower right hand corner of the cylinder window. This...

Hi bobbalouie, I bought a Ruger SP 101 (brand new from a gun shop in Southern NH) last week and had the same exact problem. The raised boss along the lower right corner of the cylinder window on the left side of the frame was just tall enough so that if a chamber was lined up with the boss...

Thanks rugerguy for the tips!

Hey All, I have a stainless Ruger New Vaquero that is an awesome gun. It shoots point to aim and it's one of my favorite guns (if not my favorite). The other week I accidentally dropped my gun while in my basement. I managed to "catch" the gun with my foot and slow its descent, but then it...

I had a Ruger RSI M77 rifle and it was really hard to open the bolt. I ended up stripping the bolt assembly (you can find instructions on the Ruger website) and found a shaving of metal stuck inside the bolt. I cleaned and lubed everything and it ran fine. Check the Ruger website and see...

Thanks all for your replies. I really like the 3 position safety of the M77's.

Hi All - I have a Ruger Hawkeye Sporter in .308 win. I love this rifle. I was wondering about the 3-position safety on this gun. I noticed that when the striker is cocked on the gun and the safety is moved into the rearmost position (where the safety is engaged and the blot locked closed) the...

Thanks All for your replies. I guess I'll have to disassemble my gun and send off the grips. Hopefully it won't take too long.
